TYT hosts effort to create snowflakes for Sandy Hook Elementary

TECUMSEH — In an effort to provide some comfort to the students at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Tecumseh Youth Theatre board members, under the

direction of the University of Michigan-Dearborn Students of Michigan Education Association (SMEA), are planning to host a snowflake-making day on Jan. 2 at the Tecumseh Center for the Arts.

The snowflakes will be sent to the Sandy Hook Elementary PTSA where they, along with snowflakes from other organizations and individuals, will be hung throughout the students’ new school. The PTSA will be taking the donations, along with others from all over the country, in an effort to create a winter wonderland and a welcoming atmosphere for the students as they return from their winter break.

Anyone who wants to make a snowflake to send to Sandy Hook is invited join the SMEA Board and TYT members from noon until 2 p.m. or from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2, at the Tecumseh Center for the Arts, 400 N. Maumee St. People can also make a snowflake at home and drop it off to be passed along.

Anyone who would like to donate paper, crayons, glitter or anything else to the effort is asked to contact Jennifer Williams at 517-673-3610. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/d486jgy.
